Why foreign language? • “The limits of my language are the limits of my world.” ‒Ludwig Wittgenstein • “Knowledge of languages is the doorway to wisdom.” -- Roger Bacon • “Change your language and you change your thoughts.” ‒Karl Albrecht • “Language is the road map of a culture. It tells you where its people come from and where they are going.” ‒Rita Mae Brown
So, … • “Those who know nothing of foreign languages know nothing of their own.” ‒Johann Wolfgang von Goethe • “Learning a foreign language not only reveals how other societies think and feel, what they have experienced and value, and how they express themselves, it also provides a cultural mirror in which we can more clearly see our own society.” ‒Chancellor Edward Lee Gorsuch
